Westergate Community School Art's Day

This sign is going to be one of many decorative signs to be put outside of Westergate Nursery
to help brighten up the walls.

Working with bright coloured crisp packets to make fashion items with a difference.


Westergate Community School, based just on the outskirts of Bognor Regis going up towards Fontwell specialises in visual and performing arts. Westergate is a mixed comprehensive catering for all levels of ability in the crucial secondary years of schooling. Here is just a very small selection of images from their two day Arts Day. The day had a great atmosphere and the children and teachers were very absorbed in all their exciting activities. Well done everyone involved and have a fantastic summer break.

Westergate School Prom

In Hummer Heaven.......


Some of Abby's friends in some excellent fun dresses



And here's Abby looking completely stunning.

June and July is always a very busy month for all kinds of events, and in fact I often find they can double up on the same day! Of course for school leavers it's a really exciting time with new beginnings and going out in style with the school prom. Abby and all of her friends got together to hire a huge Hummer to ensure they really arrived in style up at the Avisford Park Hotel.

Capturing the evening light

Mercy looking HOT in amongst the vines



What a great smile

This time of year is amazing for the wonderful evening light. Early evening is a fantastic time for when the sun is low in the sky and Voila, you get some magical shots, therefore being one of my favourite times of the day and year for capturing beautiful images. With Mercy, our lovely model, who could go wrong?

Thanks for a fun shoot set in the beautiful peaceful surroundings of Earnley Concourse which is situated in rural Earnley, West Sussex. It is a purpose-designed residential centre, offering a year-round programme of leisure interest courses and activity weeks, and is really fantastic for getting away from it all so go on treat yourself.

Katie

Ready for the Prom


Pre-Raphaelite Goddess Katie!

Cheeky Face...

I had a great morning photographing Katie in her home. Being a huge fan of Pre-Raphaelite paintings, I can't help but think of the classics when I look at Katie. She has stunning red classical hair and the looks of a Pre-Raphaelite Goddess! I set up a mini studio and put my muscles to the test by rearranging their front room with all my gear. All in a good day's work! As the weather was behaving itself for once we were able to also have fun enjoying their lovely garden as a great back drop for some nice lifestyle shots giving plenty of variation with the controlled lighting of the studio shots. Wishing Katie a very special 18th Birthday.

Jonathon & Tracy

The nice thing about doing engagement shoots is from time to time you can discover beautiful new areas to shoot in. I met Jonathon and Tracy at Sullington Warren where it is famous locally for it's beautiful heath land and 39 steps. Here are a couple of shots from our Engagement shoot. I'm really looking forward to their wedding at Christ's Hospital.

Steven and Andrea

Steve, the proud Groom.


And Andrea looking very glamourous ready for the Ceremony.



Better not be too late for Steve!

The final touches.....

The cheeky Bridesmaids.

Check out the Riverdance style ballerina shoes, lovely.

Steven and Andrea had the perfect June wedding day at the wonderful backdrop of Chilworth Manor, Hampshire. Chilworth Manor has a wonderful area at the back of it's gardens that is a conservation area and ideal for gathering shots which are different from the venue. I most highly recommend a wedding there and you will find that the staff are very helpful. Andrea and Steven had a very informal relaxed wedding. Here are just a couple of their images of the day.
